Explanation of Responses:

1. At the effective time of the merger with Danone S.A., each outstanding share of WhiteWave common stock automatically was converted into the right to receive the $56.25 merger consideration in cash.

2. At the effective time of the merger, each stock option was cancelled in exchange for a per share cash payment equal to the difference between the $56.25 merger consideration per share and the exercise price of the stock option.

3. Each restricted stock unit (RSU) respresents a right to settle in WhiteWave common stock on a one-for-basis.

4. At the effective time of the merger, each RSU was cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the $56.25 merger consideration per share.

Remarks:

On April 12, 2017, the merger of The WhiteWave Foods Company with a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Danone S.A. was completed. As a result and at the effective time of the merger, (i) each share of WhiteWave common stock that was issued and outstanding automatically was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $56.25 in cash, and (ii) each outstanding WhiteWave equity award was cancelled in exchange for cash consideration equal to $56.25 per share, less any applicable per share exercise price.
